Luke 16:10-12 (NIV)

¹⁰ “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. ¹¹ So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? ¹² And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

Reflection:

Many of us have heard the phrase “be faithful with the little things”.  It’s a process that we all have had or will have to go through in order to be entrusted with more.  It permeates our society from determining our credit limits to our job responsibilities.  So why is it important to be faithful with what we’ve been given?  Because as more is entrusted to us, more of God’s glory can be shown through our lives.  However, the same applies when we are dishonest and as it says above, “if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?”

Response:

Let’s thank God and pray that we would be found faithful in stewarding all that He has entrusted to us.  Let’s also pray for our missional groups and campus ministries, that as God continues to help us to be faithful, that we would be entrusted with more to His glory.
